Mera nanha mehfooz aakhir kab talak hai ?

Mera nanha mehfooz aakhir kab talak hai ?
Qatl-e-aam aaur khauf ka manzar jab har taraf hai

 

Kilkariyaan jahan thi aaj wahan lahoo ki barbadi hai
Jahan besumaar khwab palte tha, aaj safed qabrastan hai 

 

Ek hairanyat, ek sawal, ek kauf ab bhi hongi un chehron par
Goliyon ki bauchaarein ab bhi gunjti hongi un deewaron par

 

Beshaq mitti ki kafn odkar wo maasoom ruksat ho liye
"Alvida ammi abbu" shayad yehi labs apne khamos honton par liye

 

"Mujhe mat maro" shayad yehi kehne de dete ai zaalimon.
Unko maarne ka ek kaaran to de dete ai haiwaano

 

Kya haasil ho gaya tera maksad is khooni khel se?
Kya gunjegi jasn ki kehkahahat tere naakhush makaan se?

 

Ssach mein lagta nahin bhagwaan tu hai aas paas mere
Warna le leta in phoolon ko apne saayein mein tere

 

Kitni aankhein aaj us desh mein jaagti hongi
Maatam ki yeh ghadiyaan jaane kitni lambi hongi

 

Marham koi nahi is dard ka jo wo nanha de gaya
Aaram de un ruhoon ko jinko bewaqt le gaya

 

Khauf mein huun main bhi, darta huun bas yehi sochkar
Mera nanha, mera nanha mehfooz aakhir kab talak hai ?

At this pinnacle

At this pinnacle it makes me wonder
Is this what my destiny is ?

Gathered enough wealth and so do enough fame
Tried and tasted every delicacies of the world
Grabbed every piece of cloth that fascinated me
Witnessed every beautiful little things that this world boasted
Captured every moments of life with a cheese
Now at this pinnacle it makes me wonder
Is this really what my destiny is ?

Can someone tell me did I returned all the favours showered on me
Did I ever cared to share my happiness with everyone
When did I last cared to hear someones agony
Did I ever paid attention to someones tears
Since when I last fed someone who is really hungry
Yes, my buddy at this pinnacle it makes me wonder
Is this what my destiny is ?

You have a duty towards your mom, your nation and the god
Remember I did read this in my school days
Here I pledged to fulfill these responsibilities
Believe this will lead to my real destiny
And will justify my existence as human
At this pinnacle it makes me wonder
Yes this is what my destiny is

Is muqaam pe

Is muqaam pe aake sochte hain
Ki kya yehi muqaam tha mera

Daulat paa li, sohrat loot li,
Har lajawab pakwaan ka swad le liya,
Kapde har mahenge pahen liye,
Duniya ki har khubsurati dekh li,
Tasveerein zindagi ke har pal ki kaid kar li
Ab Is muqaam pe aake sochte hain
Ki kya yehi muqaam tha mera

Batao bhala Kya lautaya jo mera karz tha
Are Kahan baanti maine apni khushiyaan
Kya sun saka baith ke kisi ka dard
Fursat hai kya mujhe dekhne ki kisi ke aansoon
Kya khilaya maine kisi ko ek bhi niwala
Haan yaar Is muqaam pe aake sochte hain
Ki kya yehi muqaam tha mera

Maa, Desh aur Ishwar ke prati teen kartavya hai
Jo maine apne paath mein padha tha
Pura kar sakun inko yehi hai meri tamanna
Shayad tab paa sakunga apna muqaam
Aur Safal hoga tab mera insaan banna
Is muqaam pe aake sochte hain
Haan ab yehi muqaam hai mera

Zindage se Aarzo

Humne zindagi se aarzuyein to hazaroon ki thi
Mukammal unko karne ki kosish bhi bepanah ki thi

Khwaab to sirf khushi ke hi dekha tha hamne
Par hisse mein Haasil-e-dard kyun mila

Sochte hain yun hi chalte chalte
Mawmla haashil-e-khushi ka tha ya khwaish-e-tabahi
